Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forced sterilization of Native North American women was funded by the US government from the 1920s to the 1970s. It was part of the eugenics movement which believed that certain races were inferior and needed to be "controlled" through forced sterilization. This practice was particularly prevalent in the Indian Health Service, which conducted the majority of sterilizations on Native American women. Many of these women were not informed of what was being done to them and some were even sterilized without their knowledge or consent. The effects of this practice are still felt by Native American communities today, as it contributed to a decline in population and disrupted cultural and familial structures.
